first night was a little hard and stalled when i took off. seem like when it warm that problem doesnt exist. took it to work and the next morning when leaving drove fine so i figured the fluid was draining gradually as evidenced by some fluid under truck. then it seem like starting from initial acceleration if i reverse before placing gear in DRIVE i dont have that problem. sometimes it fine other times it not. whats going on here?
Seems like I have talked to you before about this but maybe not. If the Tranny truly locked up because it was worn out then there was nothing he did wrong or could have done to avoid this. Now unless he put it in Reverse while driving down the road then it's your dumb brothers fault and make him pay for it, lol. As far as the Yoke on the Rear End just make sure the Rear End is good to go and if so just replace the Yoke and Drive Shaft and be done with it. You can usually find those in a Junk yard if you are on a tight Budget.

I will start out saying that I have 2 brothers and the one I would trust with the world and the other I wouldn't trust with dog poop, lol. Could have it slipped into a lower gear ? Maybe but I don't think so honestly. If he is good normal driver then more than likely something gave out and made it lock up but usually when a tranny goes out they just stop working. In order for it the lock up something had to break inside. Does the Rear End still turn now that the Drive Shaft is not hooked up to it or is it locked up ?
Tony
Ya the rear end seems to be fine we winched it onto the trailer with no problems, it seemed to roll fine no binding or grinding that we noticed. I'm wondering about any chains that could have broke or the sprocket possibly? I don't think it could have been a gear or could it?
thanks

Any help/info is appreciated.
This is a pampered F-150 4.2 L 6 cyl with less than 42,000 miles on it
He sent it to the shop and they said "bad transmission $ 2900.00 to fix it.
I have read several nightmare stories on this forum about this year and all the problems with it's transmission but no real answers! (for me)
Questions:
Can this one be pronounced junk?
Is there a chance that a used trans. would be any better? or are they all junk?
Is there an older version that will fit and be more reliable?
Are they or anyone else upgrading them when rebuilding them with better parts?
I'm asking because there are about 50 of these trans available and it scares me.
Thanks for your input.
If Ford insists on cranking out these %x&** things, how can they ever expect repeat customers? No wonder they are in deep stuff!!!

have a 05 F-150 supercrew automatic trans with 54000 miles. 3 times in the last two days (about 30 miles of city driving) I have had a terrible noise when slowing down to turn or coming to a stop. I thought the first time that the muffler fell off and I was dragging it on the road or like someone else said - ran over a shopping cart and was stuck under the truck.
Pulled over quickly and noise went away when I almost got stopped. Today, I shifted to N and it went away - don't know if this was just a coincidence though, maybe was good timing.
Is it the transmission or could it be the clutch?? Did not hear any clunking noises but I don't think I had power - believe I tried to accelerate today after it happened and could not. Have seen the same problem posted a couple times in this forum section but no real solutions given to the problem or no one has said what their mechanic found.
Would be real upset if I have to replace a trans at 54000 miles.
Hope they are right!
Sorry for ranting. In short, Ford sucks donkey di**. This id my third Ford in a row but it is definitely my last. When I get it paid off in July this piece of junk is outta here. Spend $27 and put the part on yourself. It's two bolts on upper firewall on pass. side in back of battery. Oh yea - FORD SUCKS!!!!
this is my 12 th Ford truck / car in last 20 yrs.
this case is a strange one, .
I purchassed truck w 40 k miles approx 2 yrs ago, has 50 k now.
approx 6 months ago..1st time truck displayed engine light and dash clsuter displayed engine "fail safe mode", you loose throttle response and idle out at 900 rpm
checked with dealer.. could not pull a code, I cleared the error and it was some time before this happened again (maybe 2 months).. approx 2 weeks ago, this happened every day from work to home, 10 minute drive, I checked and replaced TBS (part cost 109.00 @ Dealer) changed myself...
all went well worked for 7 days with no error.
Today I went fishing (200 mile roundtrip), engine failsafe re-appeared, I stopped, restarted truck so throttle respnse would come back...5-10 minutes later, Transmission malfunction displayed along with already existing engine light, plus O/D flashing.
stopped truck , restarted , Tranny error cleared....
2 hrs later on return trip home, Transmission malfunction error came back...
stopped , restarted and drove home.
prior to this Tranny error, transmission did and still shifts great..perfect timing.. not hesitant at all.
also I serviced tranny 1000 miles ago, new filter and synthetic mercon fluid.
directlty after this service, and if you are in heavy traffic, stop at red light, tranny felt as though it never went back to "start off" gear (this is an auto) when you leave redlight/ stop sign etc... truck feels like it wishes to start off in 2nd, but hesitates for a second, then slight jerk and she starts off in 1st as supposed to,( the start off jerk sorta feels like when you have a bad tranny mount on tailshaft, somewhat like a kick.
any suggestions ..I open to them all... the dealer I purchased truck from is on my S**T list, and I refuse to return there again...
e-mail is danield9565@cox.net.

Has anyone had this problem, or know how to remedy my problem ?
I thank you beforehand for reading my post, I am a new member and not to familiar with this forum,so bear please with me .
It want to stall the truck in gear sometimes
Sometimes backing up the truck shakes and wants to keep going.
Was told to replace torque converter and I did which helped my shifting prob but wants to stall sometimes in drive or reverse.
Any suggestions
